Gill Gives Blunt Verdict After ODI Series Loss Against NZ: "Disappointed"

Indian cricket team skipper Shubman Gill expressed his disappointment after his side's ODI series loss against New Zealand on Sunday. Star batter Virat Kohli slammed a sensational century but it was not enough as India slumped to a 41-run loss against New Zealand in the 3rd ODI match in Indore. Batting first, New Zealand posted a mammoth total of 337/8 thanks to tons from Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips . In reply, Kohli played a brilliant knock and was even supported by Nitish Kumar Reddy as well as Harshit Rana but it was not enough. Following the series loss, Gill said that he was disappointed with how the team played and added that there were many areas that they need to look back and reflect on. "After the first match, coming here 1-1, the way we played - disappointed. There are areas we need to look back, reflect and do better. (On the positives) The way Virat is batting is always is a plus. The way Harshit has batted in this series, batting at No. 8 is not easy,...

'Time For New Leadership': Trump Calls For End To Khamenei's Rule In Iran

US President Donald Trump called for an end to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's 37-year-old rule. "It's time to look for new leadership in Iran," he told Politico on Saturday after the country in the Middle East was rocked by weeks of protests against the Islamic Republic. "The best decision he ever made was not hanging more than 800 people two days ago," Trump told the publication. Trump argued that Iran's leadership relies on repression and violence to run the country. He blamed Khamenei for "complete destruction of the country" and for using unprecedented levels of violence.  "In order to keep the country functioning – even though that function is a very low level – the leadership should focus on running his country properly, like I do with the United States, and not killing people by the thousands in order to keep control," Trump said. He added, "Leadership is about respect, not fear and death." C...

From Giving It To Nazis To Selling It: When Nobel Laureates Gave Up Medals

In an unexpected move, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado presented her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House on Thursday. She described the gesture as "a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom."  The Nobel Committee, however, was quick to clarify that such a transfer has no legal or symbolic standing. According to the Norwegian Nobel Institute and the Nobel Committee, once awarded, a Nobel Peace Prize cannot be transferred, shared, or reassigned. This rule is a core principle of the Nobel Foundation's statutes, as laid out in Alfred Nobel's will. While a laureate is free to dispose of the physical medal or prize money as they wish, the official title and honour of being a Nobel Peace Prize recipient permanently belong to the chosen laureate and cannot be passed on. However, Nobel laureates parting with their award medals is not unprecedented. Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov received the...

India Won't Leave Iran's Chabahar, Working With US For Middle Path: Sources

As the clock ticks down to the expiry of the US sanctions waiver on India's operations at Iran's Chabahar Port, New Delhi is engaged in quiet but intensive negotiations with Washington to protect what it sees as a critical strategic and connectivity asset. Top sources in the Indian government have told NDTV that India is exploring a "middle-ground" approach that could address American concerns while safeguarding India's long-term interests at the port. "India is considering some options that would indirectly protect our interests in Chabahar Port and at the same time satisfy the US side to some extent," top government sources told NDTV, underlining that New Delhi is not preparing to pack up and leave. According to the sources, after negotiations with the US, a six-month waiver till April 2026 was granted "as a special case" to wind up operations, but that pathway is "not an option as far as New Delhi is concerned". "India con...

India Coach Refuses To Defend His Team As New Zealand Expose Glaring Flaws

India's defeat in the second ODI against New Zealand highlighted various flaws in the team that were otherwise hidden due to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma 's exemplary performances with the bat. In a match where the veteran duo failed to continue their hot form, India lost the match while failing to even challenge the opponent team. Speaking at the post-match press conference, assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate refused to shield his players as he urged the bowlers, particularly spinners, to pull up their socks. "We probably want to bowl a little bit better than we did tonight," Ten Doeschate said, pointing directly at India's poor spin performance and the need for sharper execution in the 50-over format. India managed to pick just three wickets against New Zealand in the second ODI at Rajkot, with two of those going to pacers - Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna . Kuldeep Yadav did bag a wicket, of Will Young , but it came after the Kiwis had put a 162-run stand...
